Dogs are like friends, they come and go and sometimes you just need a new friend. I would get another dog, but that's just my opinion.

I personally see my dogs as part of my family. Not as someone that just comes and goes in your life. I had to put my rottie to sleep when she was 4 years old because she had cancer and it was one of the hardest things ive done. at first i felt like if i got another dog it would seem like im just replacing her. It took some time but I love animals and so got another dog. They all have different personalities so its not like your trying to replace what you had.\
